Krishna complains to Mother Yashoda saying, "Mother, elder brother Dau teases me a lot; he tells me that I was bought for a price and that Yashoda never gave birth to me."

In this sweet couplet by Surdas, little Krishna comes running to his mother Yashoda with an innocent complaint against his elder brother, Balarama. With an adorable pout, Krishna says, Mother, brother Balram teases me endlessly. He tells me that you bought me from the market and that you never really gave birth to me. This verse beautifully captures the playful rivalry between siblings and the tender innocence of childhood. Krishna's sweet grievance highlights the deep, affectionate bond between a mother and her child, where a little boy seeks comfort and reassurance in his mother's loving lap.
